This was a quicky cosplay I threw together for a con. I had the bodysuit made for me (by Meredith Placko), and I already had the shoes. The gloves are modified pre-made cheapo gloves, and I painted some sunglasses and a kids gun I found at Walmart. I made the entire coat myself in a few days, made with a black heavy bottomweight fabric and fully lined with black garment lining. I made the shoulder armor out of craft foam.

Personal Thoughts:

This is the "badass long coat" version of the Major that you mainly see in the credits and various artwork. The Major is quite possibly my favorite anime character ever!!!
